Managing Your Asthma: A Doctor's Perspective on Inhalers and Care
What is asthma?
Asthma narrows the airways through inflammation and muscle tightening. Triggers include allergens, exercise, cold air, infections and stress.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP if you have a persistent cough, wheeze or breathlessness. Call 999 for severe attacks: blue lips, struggling to speak, or no relief from a reliever inhaler.
Available treatments
Reliever inhalers (salbutamol) ease symptoms quickly. Preventer inhalers (beclometasone, budesonide, fluticasone) reduce inflammation when used daily. Combination inhalers, leukotriene tablets and biologics are options for more severe asthma.
What to expect
Most people gain good control with regular preventer use. An asthma action plan, agreed with your nurse or GP, helps you respond to changes in symptoms.
Self-care
Take preventers daily even when well, learn correct inhaler technique, avoid known triggers, get the flu jab and have an annual asthma review.
